Swindon Smew fest

A visit to Tall Mark and Em in Swindon produced my best views and only photo of a drake Smew on lake 44 on Cotswold wildlife park.
Coate Water denied me again on the ruddy shelduck front, but produced a fine Great White Egret , as well as a NUTHATCH from the first hide and a SHELDUCK on the lake bring the year total to #80.
 A few Goosander, Reed Bunting, Kingfisher, Teal, Wren, semi albino Blackbird and a jolly good time with our friends in freezing conditions.
You never know Tall1 might even come out and play again now he has a charged battery and a 'cloudy setting' to play around with!!

Who's a pretty boy then
